Bible Verse
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” – Ephesians 2:8-9
Meaning
This powerful passage from Ephesians reveals the heart of heavenly grace. Salvation is not a reward we earn, but a precious gift offered freely by God through faith. It is the ultimate embodiment of God’s grace, His unmerited and boundless love for us. It is His desire that no one should perish but everyone should receive eternal life (John 3:16).
Yet, were we left to our own devices, relying on our merit or good deeds, we would not attain salvation. God gave humanity the opportunity to be reconciled with Him, not through their works, but through faith in His Son, Jesus. To believe in Jesus means to surrender to Him, live a life dedicated to His teachings, and inviting Him into your heart as Lord and Savior.
